    I’ve heard many a time from many a booster that AI will lead to UBI. This reminds me of that. CEOs selling delusion in a desperate attempt to distract from the reality, always claiming better lives are just around the next corner.

      The argument is always that “they’ll have to”. And really, it’s like “Bitch, they don’t care if you live or die. “

      I just need a few more billion trillion dollars, bro, I swear. Trickle down economics work, just a few more trillions. I swear, bro, AI will bring UBI, just several more trillion dollars, bro. I swear, bro.

      Yeah we will get a UBI but they won’t pay taxes to fund it and will take jobs from the taxpayers who do pay. Same story as trickle down economics and we all know how that ended.
